Digg loves Obama but hates Hillary, Why?

[aaroh]

The number of positive articles about Obama on Digg's front page against the number of positive articles about Hillary: 1024 to 0

Hehehehehhe why? I made that number up btw but it seems like a good ball park figure.

1. Why did the New Coke marketing campaign fail?

I keep having to bring this analogy up.

4. Did the new Coke actually sell like crazy then fall off?

Or did it just fail after the campaign for it with low sales? I honestly don't know.

5. It's a rhetorical question asked to freshman marketing students

"Why did the New Coke marketing campaign fail?"

They scramble for all different market penetration / demographic reasons, etc.

The answer is,

"It failed because people don't like New Coke."

Similarly, a majority of negative stories about one candidate does not imply bias. Often, it implies the opposite.

6. Yep, and then they brought back the old - "Classic"

[ericgtr]

10. I know the analogy but don't buy it

Obama has actually gotten votes from millions of people.

12. I'm talking about Clinton

The media has so many negative stories about her because of the facts on the ground.

14. Okay thanks for the clarification

2. Obama has strong netroots support, Hillary does not.

It would follow that Digg users would be more for Obama than Hillary.

3. Also, Obama is much more popular than Hillary. nt

8. Welcome...don't buy the Coke analogy...

...it's more than the liberal blogs are ga-ga over Obama...HRC just doesn't have the support there.

9. Here's one theory I came up with

Obama has about 65% of the young suporters age between 18-29 and 35% goes to Hillary
The percentage of internet users age below 29 is > than ages 30-99 (most of hillary's supporters)

So in conclusion for every positive article about Hillary that gets 1 dig comes 2 buries

11. 42.7% of all statistics are made up on the spot.

[Adelante]

16. You made that UP!

[From The Left]

13. Because Obama is the Superior Candidate?

[ExtraGriz]

15. digg member are sheeples?

isnt that the whole basis of sites like digg and reddit?
